There’s only good in suffering when we confront it head on and face the inevitable pain. Suffering for the sake of suffering has no good in it. The trauma and the pain are never good. They’re not intended for our lives. They’re not what God ordained. But good can be found in suffering when we look into the abyss and interact with the relationships, the lies and the emotions that stagnate in the dark. Only then can good come from suffering.
